The improvements made have been of such a general character that as faras the main auditorium room Is concerned almost a com- plete transformation bas been effected. The changes In the avdlence room include the re- frescoing of the walls,a new carpet, new win- dows, new pews and cushions. The work was begun under the direction of the board of tros- tees about July 1st, and it was soon found, upon examination, that rudicul measures were neces- sary to begin'with. ‘The cellar was in avery bad condition, Under ihe larger part of the basement. floor the wet clay was up to within a few Inches Of the joist, and the floor itsel! largely decayed. ‘The whole floor was taken up, the cellar ex- cavated some seven or eight feet deep and conereted. Drains were [ocated to tuke off all surplus water, the gas und water service all renewed; new furnaces put in, and win- dows for ligut and ventilation were éut through the side walls; 80 that now, insteaa of a mud hole the cellar is a dry dnd wholesom place, WHAT WAS DONE IN THE LECTURE ROOM. Next in order of treatment came the base- ment, which contains the lecture and Sunday school rooms and the pastor's study, This has been entirely remodeled and tastefully fin- ished. All of the rooms are so arranged thut when required they can be thrown practically into one, by the use of large folding doors und bundsonie stained window parutions. The lecture room plutiorm bas been enlarged by an cess in the rear, the whole handsomely finished in natural ‘sh wood, beautitull carved in purt and ali finished’ in bard oil. Besides, @ youd sized kitchen has been pro- vided at the west eud of this fluor for use on social occasions. A HANDSOME AUDITORIUM. The main floor, or the church auditorium, is where the most striking and impressive ef- fects are found. The old dark pews are sup- planted by beautiful new ash pews, hard fin- ished, aud furnished with ‘new cushions hroughout.

POWRLE'S CONCLUSIONS — VARrouS CAUSES OF EASTHQUARES—RXPLOSIONS oF STEAM—HOLLOWS IN THR EARTH'S CRUST THE INFLUENCE OF 8UX AxD MOON, Lieut J. W. Powell, of the sigoal corps, when ‘tsked by» Stax reporter his reasons for pre dicting that the first earthquake at Charleston would be foliowed by shocks for some time and also questioned on the subject of earthquakes in general, said: “The earth's crust 1s now thicker and stronger than ever before, and Its great ribs of granite and solid rock are now more firm and rigid than in any previous period. On the other hand, it is Rnown that movements of elevation, along with local depressions, are in ress in th Arctic ions, and the erent weight of new sediment is being deposited along the borders of the Atiantic, : specially on its west ern side, and this tact is not improbably con- nected with the earthquake shocks and slight movements which have occurred in Norih America, It Is possible that this slow secular movement may go on uninterruptedly until considerable change lias been produced: but it is quite as likely that tt may be retarded or re- verxed. Italso {s possible, on the other hand, that after the long peri: ot depressing re may be a new settlement of the ocean within, accompanied by a folding of the crust, espe: cially on the western side of the Atlantic, and possibly with renewed voleanic activity on its easterd margin.

In regard to the cuuse of eurthquukes, I would say thut among the ingenious tueories devised to explain seismic disturbances is that ot the attractive Influences of THE MOON AND SUX. T hold the view that eurthquukes, as felt at certain seasons of the year, are possibly @ue to the sun and moon's producing a tide tn th Interlor of the globe, aud that this tide pres Ing against the solid crust causes fracture. is very interesting to notice that, at the time of the ‘very severe shock at ’Charles- ton, the Udal Influence was at its maximum. ‘Th moon was Iu 116 perigee Nt2 &.m., August 31; new Moon at 8 a. m. tue suine day, coming on'the direct line with the suo, Extremely igh tides occurred, Ubereiore, for several days.
